朋友比情人更长久. This phrase is cruel yet so true indeed. Ah, it totally shows how much she treasures him. Still hopin they'll go one step forward and be a real couple!! ((:
qiao en is a "love at first sight person", while ming dao is a "nurture feelings person", so maybe at first qiao en liked ming dao (quite evident on variety shows?), and then later on she stopped liking while ming dao began to feel for her? Anyway, after so long, they both probably have no more feelings for each other; still hope they are a couple though ;)
